Brown or yellow? You should be giving it deep, slow waterings every 4
days or so. If it's turning yellow, fertilize with seaweed and green sand.


If I may, I have a similar question - I've had a small bald cypress (1 ft) in
a pot (outside) for about a year. Should I go ahead and plant it this fall?

Absolutely! You can plant it now if you want. Container plants can
be planted any time of year. When you dig the hole make it three or
four times larger than the root ball. Jag the edges of the soil in
the hole, don't leave the sides smooth. It's like when you sand
something to give it tooth for the paint to stick to. Water
penetrates easier and roots reach out further, faster.

Just keep it watered.

Cool, I'll chunk it in there once we're past the 100-degree days.
I'll worry about it less if it's a little cooler. Once it's
established, how much water beyond what's natural here in central
TX is needed?

Thanks,
